A batch of newly declassified CIA documents reveals Agency’s program, codenamed ‘Grill Flame’, established in 1975 as a research into paranormal abilities.

But its star turn came in 1979 when dozens of Americans were taken hostage inside the US embassy in Iran’s capital Tehran. The telepaths were used to provide information on where people were being held, and to report on their state of health. And these are the pictures of the scene where the hostages were located – drawn up by the psychics based on their ‘remote viewing’ abilities.

RT’s Caleb Maupin asked people in New York how they interpret the drawings.
